Match Preview

Butcher impressed by Shinnie recovery
Inverness manager Terry Butcher has hailed Graeme Shinnie following his comeback from serious illness.
Shinnie was struck down by an intestinal problem halfway through last season and played his first full game for seven months in last Saturday's 2-0 defeat by Rangers.
Shinnie, whose brother Andrew signed for Inverness this summer, is set to keep his place for the Clydesdale Bank Premier League visit to Aberdeen on Saturday with fellow left-back Kenny Gillet still out with a hamstring problem.
Butcher, whose side were beaten by two controversial penalties against Rangers, said: "It was his first competitive 90 minutes since the Morton cup tie and that was in January. I thought he had a fantastic match.
"It's such a pity the way the penalties overshadowed his performance. The back four were immense.
"That's a massive success story. When you stand back and look at it, you would say `wow'.
"I was really pleased with Graeme. I honestly thought he had never been out.
"I have seen him in hospital with the tubes and his parents there and his brother, and the emotions they went through and the hard time.
"It was just brilliant to see him out on the pitch, it really made your heart glow because he's such a lovely kid and he's tough as teak, he really is. There's a lot of steel there.
"Him and his brother desperately want to do so well this year.
"Graeme certainly took his chance on Saturday and I'm really delighted with him."
Shinnie was delighted to be back in action following his health scare.
"I'm back to full health and full fitness and to be back on the pitch was really good, I was buzzing," he said.
"My health was under a bit but I have come back strong.
"Everyone from Raigmore Hospital helped me out really well, and the boys and the manager and the coaching staff.
"It was a hard time but I got through it and everything is good now."
Inverness sit bottom of the SPL on one point, one goal worse off than Aberdeen, and Butcher is determined to move up the table.
The Caley Thistle manager has signed Wigan defender Roman Golobart on loan as he faces a seven-strong absentee list for the Pittodrie clash, the suspended Ross Tokely joining that list along with knee injury victim Owain Tudur Jones.
Butcher said: "When you look at the league and see we are bottom, people think we must be the worst team in the league. That's not the case.
"The worst thing is we didn't pick up points when we should have.
"We know we're not the worst team in the league, we know what we're all about and what we have to do.
"I have still got that confidence in the team, there is still a lot to come from this team.
"I'm looking at my fifth team in five matches, probably my seventh back four.
"Someone said to me I was moaning and to stop prattling on. But I'm just saying these are the facts and this is what we have to deal with.
"And we will deal with it and move on."
Aberdeen manager Craig Brown remains full of optimism as his side bid for their first win of the season at Pittodrie.
The Dons lost 3-0 at Hearts last weekend and have one point from four matches so far this term.
Brown said: "At this juncture any win would be acceptable. We want to win a game, get some points on the board and get some justification for the optimism I have about this team."
Brown believes it is merely about the Dons' luck turning.
He added: "I don't feel any pressure at all.
"The atmosphere in the dressing room is good and I'm not deluded.
"Players know when they're playing badly or they're unlucky. We could easily have had a lot more points this season.
"We just need a turn of the ball to get a result which would transform the league position.
"I detect a determination to rectify the indifferent results we've had.
"I'm quite sure we're capable of that. We've got to start sooner rather than later to get some points on the board.
"If the lads get what they deserve they will get a victory."

Match Report

Dons end goal drought
Aberdeen picked up their first Clydesdale Bank Premier League win of the season with a 2-1 home victory over Inverness.
The Dons had failed to find the back of the net in their first four matches of the new SPL campaign but it took them only 12 minutes to take the lead, Rob Milsom slotting home after fine play by Josh Magennis.
The home side doubled their advantage after 27 minutes when Scott Vernon took full advantage of a defensive mistake by Caley debutant Roman Golobart to drive the ball past Ryan Esson .
Inverness pulled a goal back with 11 minutes remaining when Richie Foran seized upon Youl Mawene's careless header to fire past David Gonzalez, but it was not enough.
Aberdeen made two changes to the side that was defeated 3-0 by Hearts at Tynecastle last weekend with Magennis and Ryan Jack both handed starts, defender Rory McArdle and striker Darren Mackie making way.
Inverness went into the match without seven players - including Ross Tokely who failed to overturn the red card he received in last weekend's 2-0 loss against Rangers.
Manager Terry Butcher handed a debut to new loan signing Golobart, while there were also starts for Andrew Shinnie, Nick Ross and Gavin Morrison.
Welshman Owain Tudor Jones missed out after undergoing knee surgery, while Gregory Tade and Aaron Doran dropped to the bench.
The Dons could have broken the deadlock after six minutes when Kari Arnason sent a tantalising cross into the box but Vernon failed to keep his header under the bar from only six yards out.
The opening goal for Aberdeen arrived after 12 minutes when Magennis showed great strength to ease past two defenders before slotting the ball across goal for Milsom, who turned the ball home.
The hosts may have had a long wait for their first strike of the season but they did not have to wait long for their second as Vernon pounced on a mistake from Golobart to run through on goal and coolly fire past Esson.
Aberdeen were looking full of confidence and energy and could have had a third when Magennis linked up with Fraser Fyvie, but the Northern Irishman's powerful effort whistled past the post.
Inverness thought they had pulled a goal back after 36 minutes when Jonny Hayes found the back of the net but referee Crawford Allan had already blown his whistle for an earlier infringement.
The Dons could have extended their lead before the break when Milsom's curling free-kick evaded everyone, but it bounced back off the post.
Inverness made the better start to the second half and Golobart could have made amends for his earlier error but the Spaniard failed to connect with Greg Tansey's inviting delivery.
The visitors made an early switch with Doran replacing the ineffective Shinnie after 53 minutes.
Aberdeen goalkeeper Gonzalez had enjoyed a relatively quiet afternoon but the Colombian was alert to gather the ball at the feet of Foran after an intelligent pass by Hayes.
The hosts were still looking dangerous on the counter-attack with Esson called upon to make a terrific save to deny Iceland international Arnason.
Aberdeen had a penalty appeal waved away after 73 minutes when substitute Mitch Megginson, who had replaced Magennis, fell under pressure from Chris Hogg.
Chris Clark was given his Dons debut in his second spell at the club when he came on for Fyvie with 15 minutes remaining.
A defensive lapse by Aberdeen gifted the Highlanders a way back into the match when Mawene carelessly headed the ball into the path of Caley skipper Foran, who had the easiest of tasks to pass the ball into the net after 79 minutes.
Foran then had a great chance to earn his side a point when he raced through on goal, but Gonzalez made a smart stop to ensure the Dons collected all three points.
